Why didn't you use alt:V instead of Rage MP?

[Deewens]

Hi,

 

I am happy to see that LS-RP will now be playable on GTA V! However, I was wondering why you choose Rage MP as a platform instead of alt:V? As far as I know, alt:V is significantely better than the others, and especially ragemp regarding the sync and stability, and also the scripting possibility?

 

Here is a comparaison of the different platforms (Rage vs alt:V vs FiveM): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g1LpSoPFQcXmUHUA__3KArFRH55TL49iSs2cT52jBi4/edit#gid=0

 

I know that you are not going to switch the script to work with alt:V now, but this is just something that I was wondering.

 

Keep up the good work anyway!

I actually also wondered this and I asked MMartin on his stream. He told me that they chose Rage because it’s the platform most of their target audience already uses.

What's on that spreadsheet refers to the previous version of RageMP. The newest version comes with an anti-cheat (EAC), the sync is slightly better and that's it. There's really no good platform for text rp on gta5, each one has its issues.

I asked myself the same question but for fiveM instead, I wanted LS:RP to be in FiveM not RageMP. I personally see FiveM is way more popular and used more than RageMP, I might be wrong but that's how I see it for some reason

FiveM has limitations to the amount of players that can be in the server, plus it's a big hassle since it's more pointed towards voice roleplay.

FiveM is marketed towards voice RP.

 

alt:V seems promising but each have their own issue. Recent example, it took them a couple days to come out with a compatibility update for the new V update, even with the number of developers they have. So that's about 3 days of the server being unavailable while it only took Rage a couple hours to put out an update.

 

But yeah, like I said, each have their own issues.

Any other reasons besides one update being late?

I think that reason is a big enough excuse, imagine your server being down and completely out of your hands for a number of days. It could be a Friday, Saturday and Sunday which are the most popular days. You may say people could find something else to do but imagine if say facebook or youtube were completely down for the whole weekend, the whole world would lose their shit. It's a lot of downtime

I also believe that the people who made Alt:V, were the same devs who sold GT-MP. Don't quote me on this.

Either way, RageMP is much more popular than Alt V is.

Rofl, both alt and rage are on par for the most part, when it comes to updates, irregularities tend to happen every now and then, just like the aforementioned example.

Plenty of times alt was faster than rage in that regard.

Somehow you look like a salesman, who came here to showcase and sell his product. Like it was said, there are plenty of players from LSRP, who are used to RageMP or played with this MP.

So does it really matter which is the chosen platform?

Numbers and activity on each platforms matters too, since we're aiming to reach to the wider community!

 

 - Rage

 

 - Alt V

[Deewens]

For the update thing, I think that either rage or alt:V would be the same.

 

For me, the main reason for choosing alt:V would be a more stable platform and which take less server and client power. The sync is almost perfect with alt:V too. And the fact that there is no wrapper onto the native, you can use whatever natives you want directly.

 

I don't think that the popularity of the platform matters. LSRP is already a popular name and a popular server. I'm sure you can ask people to switch to alt:v. We had the same problem with SAMP. SAMP was not the best alternative, MTA was clearly better, but every big server was on SAMP.
